Description: Abaddons form the devilish cavalry, riding on Nightmares bred by the Shapeshifters. Led by Verrine himself, the elite Abaddon cavalry is perhaps the most powerful cavalry recorded. Being as massive as they are, Abaddons can ride only the largest of Nightmares, bred especially for their heavy cavalry. The Abaddon Cavalry is capable of great organization, but individual Abaddons are also dangerous both mounted and on foot. Abaddons are hardly leaders in the devilish hordes, but they do command significant respect for their place in the powerful cavalry.

In combat, the shield bearing Abaddons will always prefer mounted combat, but may fight on the ground if conditions make a mount undesirable. Two-handed weapon bearing Abaddons may choose to fight on the ground rather than using their mount, though if conditions favor a mounted charge, they will look for a mount. In general, when mounted Abaddons like to do passing runs, cutting down foes on each run. On foot, they prefer to stand their ground, rushing only in order to take down pesky mages and ranged foes.

When summoned, an Abaddon will be loud, trying to frighten the summoner. He will threaten vengeance on flippant summoners and will try to achieve it at the first opportunity. If the summoner is obviously a mage, the Abaddon will associate them with the condescending Occult Devils and will have immediate dislike for them. Abaddons who accept a mission will summon their Nightmare as soon as possible.

As a player, you could summon an abaddon, with a little luck and manipulation. Would its abilities be useful to you? As a Master Weaver, would you use one against your players? Please, comment below to share your thoughts.
